One of the nights this week (I no longer remember days or dates… partially because I’m on vacation and partially because of the pandemic which has erased all sense of time), I decided to attempt a few shots of the stars from the dock.

The milky way was hidden behind the trees, and I didn’t have the motivation to drive to the other side of the lake to try a new shot because 1) It was bedtime and I’m old and 2) Axe murderers.

Anyway, I snapped this and then, as requested, I woke the kid up and carried him out to the dock so he could see full on stars at night (his bedtime is so early that it’s a rarity for him in the summer). I asked him what he thought of the night sky and he responded by saying it was sorta creepy outside when it was that dark out. Yup, he’s my kid.

And back to bed we went.

Side note: How is it that March and April seemed to be approximately 400 years long and June has passed in 72 hours? Seriously.
